The recent surge of data that is available through online platforms has given rise to new research agendas that have an increased potential for comparative research of cultural and societal phenomena across the boundaries of languages and modalities. These agendas come with a demand for the renewal of methodological frameworks and new models of multidisciplinary collaboration.
Based on a number of case studies, partly derived from the H2020 cluster project SSHOC (Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud), it will be explained how research infrastructures can contribute to the emerging paradigms for studying social and cultural dynamics based on language data. In particular the demands for integrating heterogeneous data types will be highlighted, such a combinations of spoken and textual resources, language data and numerical data, and multimodal signals.
